Spanish-Style Petworth Home with Numerous Porches

At some point, this row house in Petworth was renovated in a Spanish style, which resulted in a home full of open spaces, dark wooden floors and accents, and a number of porches. (In addition to the front porch, the rear of the house has both upper and lower porches.) The architectural details have dramatic contrasts and a rich feel, but the kitchen is light and open. The home comes with an in-law suite downstairs, complete with a kitchen and laundry room, and there is a one-car driveway.
